Kerr Smith, who three years ago took a chance by accepting the role of a gay teenager coming to terms with his sexuality on the popular teen series Dawsons Creek, says now, I think we told it right, according to The Vancouver Sun. Smith, who had already worked on the daytime soap As the World Turns, was initially afraid it would damage his career. Anyone would be scared, Kerr claims. That was the first time a gay character had ever been presented to a teenage demographic like this one. He is now pleased that he and gay creator of the show Kevin Williamson shed some light on a subject that was taboo five years ago. He now understands that he was in at the beginning of a trend and notes, Today, its much more accepted. There are shows that actually center around gay charactersshows like Queer as Folk. I think we started something.
